Spruce Up Your School Pencils!

Hi Everyone! 

It's Brittany, and I'm back with another DIY project! I had originally planned on posting this project back at the beginning of September for Back to School, but I never got a chance. Anyway, this is a simple and budget-friendly project to revamp those boring Number 2 pencils for school. Let's get started! 


Things You Will Need:
- Pencils
- Washi Tape
- Scissors

Step 1:
The first thing you need to do is choose a washi tape that you wish to use. Once you have chosen a washi tape, take the tape and start to unravel it from the roll. Do this slowly. You only want to unravel enough for the length of the pencil. 

Step 2:
Place one end of the tape underneath the silver metal part that holds the eraser. Match the other end of the tape to the end of the pencil. If there is some excess, you can cut that off with your scissors. 

Step 3:
Repeat the last step until you have covered the pencil. Cut any excess off the bottom. Press down on the tape to make sure that it is all sticking to the pencil. When you are ready to use, you can sharpen it! 

And that is it! You have spruced up your boring old pencils with just a couple of materials. This is such a fast way to do this and you will have some pretty fun pencils to use for school. Happy Crafting! xoxo
